Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 580 – Not Enough Time

They didn’t know how to take the bus, nor did they know if the taxi in Black Horn City was reliable, so they simply walked over.

In the distance, the Spirit Pagoda was already in sight. The Spirit Pagoda looked the same everywhere and was in the form of a tall tower. This was also the tradition of the Spirit Pagoda’s architecture. In Black Horn City, it was the highest tower and was very eye-catching so it was easy to recognize.

Lan Xuanyu indicated for Qian Lei to unsummon Fatty Jin. The group quickened their pace and arrived before the Spirit Pagoda.

There were actually many people at the Spirit Pagoda’s side. Upon entering the hall on the first floor, there were people everywhere and the internal order was clearly somewhat chaotic.

Heaven Planet didn’t seem to have any concept of queuing, so there were many people around the counter.

Lan Xuanyu waved his hand without a trace and the seven people dispersed.

He looked around and found a counter with the fewest people and walked over. The words on the counter were: Spirit Soul Recycling.

The Spirit Pagoda actually had such a business?

Although Lan Xuanyu didn’t go to the Spirit Pagoda many times, he never remembered that there was such a department in the Spirit Pagoda.

He walked to the counter and asked the staff inside, “How do we retrieve a Spirit Soul?”

The staff member inside was a young girl who looked to be around 17 or 18 years old. She didn’t even raise her head and said impatiently, “Find a random soul master who is about to die, bring him over, and then kill him. After killing a soul master, you can strip the Spirit Soul and sell it to us. We’ll pay you according to the Spirit Soul’s quality.”

Lan Xuanyu was dumbstruck upon hearing that. ‘This is indeed Heaven Planet! Even the Spirit Pagoda has such a business?’

“Do you accept any kind of Spirit Soul ?” Lan Xuanyu asked instinctively.

The young lady seemed to become even more impatient. She lifted her head abruptly and was about to flare up when she saw Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu was dressed in a silver-white uniform and had a head of black hair. His big eyes were filled with surprise. He was now almost 1.7 meters tall, and his features were gradually opening up. He was in the middle of transforming into a young man. His beautiful face and his shining aura that was filled with youthfulness caused the young lady to be stunned and her anger to disappear.

“En, we accept everything. The price will vary according to the quality. Why are you asking about this? Could it be that you know how to kill people?” Her previous irritation had turned into teasing. It was really a world where looks mattered.

Lan Xuanyu said, “I was just asking. I wanted to ask if there are any spaceships heading to the Douluo Federation!”

The young lady was stunned. “You want to go to the Douluo Federation? Why would a little pirate like you go to the Federation?”

Lan Xuanyu hesitated for a moment, but he felt that he couldn’t reveal his identity here. “My parents were captured by the Douluo Federation. I want to save them.” He casually made up a somewhat shoddy lie.

But when that young lady heard his words, her delicate body trembled slightly and she looked around subconsciously. Then, she stood up and actually walked out from behind the counter. She grabbed him and pulled him closer to the counter.

Although Lan Xuanyu and his team were separated, they were actually observing each other. The others naturally saw Lan Xuanyu being pulled into the counter.

Lan Mengqin quickly went to Bai Xiuxiu’s side and nudged her as she chuckled. “He’s very popular!”

Bai Xiuxiu: “Who asked him to be so good-looking?”

Lan Mengqin laughed. “Is this considered a femme fatale? Should we go over and take a look?”

Bai Xiuxiu knocked her on the shoulder and turned to walk to the other counter. According to their division of labor, they had to find out the way back.

Behind the counter, Lan Xuanyu was also somewhat baffled.

“Are you crazy? You’re saying such things here?” The young lady looked outside cautiously.

“What is it? Why can’t I say it?” Lan Xuanyu pretended to be confused.

The young lady said, “You don’t know how common the situation you’re in is on Heaven Planet, you can forget about saving your parents. Let’s not talk about the fact that you don’t even know where you’re going. Also, it’s very difficult to move inside the Douluo Federation ! Do you have any identification papers ? How are you going to enter the Federation? There are so many planets in the Douluo Federation, do you know where your parents are?”

Lan Xuanyu realized that the young lady was somewhat agitated.

“Then I should just not care? I still want to save them,” Lan Xuanyu said stubbornly.

The young lady sighed and rubbed his head. “My parents were captured too. I once snuck onto a warship and wanted to save them.”

“Ah?” Lan Xuanyu was speechless as he looked at this girl who was in the same boat as him. Was it really just a coincidence with the lie that he had just made up ?

The young lady seemed to have recalled her past. She mumbled to herself, “At that time, I realized how big this world is. I had just arrived at the Douluo Federation and was caught during the identification test. If that ship didn’t belong to our Spirit Pagoda, I’m afraid I would have been killed or locked up by the Douluo Federation. It was the Spirit Pagoda that brought me back. So, you must not have such thoughts. It’s useless. Not to mention us, even a god-rank powerhouse can’t do it. The Douluo Federation is too big.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Then how did you board the Spirit Pagoda’s warship?”

The young lady said, “The Spirit Souls that our Spirit Pagoda sells here are actually from the Douluo Federation. The process of creating Spirit Souls cannot be left on Heaven Planet as it would be too dangerous. So there are warships that return to the Douluo Federation every month. I followed them like that.”

Lan Xuanyu said, “When did the last warship head to the Douluo Federation?”

The young lady replied, “I don’t know. I’ve long stopped caring about this. Why are you asking this? Are you still not giving up? You’re really a stubborn child!”

Lan Xuanyu sighed and said, “Thank you, big sister. I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t take the risk.” He didn’t ask any further as he was afraid that he would be exposed. He had already obtained very useful information from this young lady and confirmed that the Spirit Pagoda indeed had a warship that would return to the Federation. That was enough. The key question now was when would the Spirit Pagoda’s warship return to the Douluo Federation. They had to confirm the time before they could return with the warship.

The young lady looked at Lan Xuanyu doubtfully. “Gave up? Really?”

Lan Xuanyu nodded. “That’s right!”

The young lady scoffed and said, “As if I would believe you. I can see myself in you, but it’s useless. The security of our Spirit Pagoda’s warships is no longer the same. Even if I tell you when it will take off, you won’t be able to get in.”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged his shoulders and said, “I won’t have a chance anyway. Even if I’m unwilling, it’s useless! I’m leaving. Goodbye.”

With that, he walked out of the counter.

The young girl stood up and looked at him from behind the counter. In her heart, she only felt that this young man’s figure was somewhat lonely.

“Wait a minute,” she suddenly called out.

Lan Xuanyu turned to look at her.

The young lady said, “If I remember correctly, the next warship will depart in 15 days. If, I mean if, you really don’t give up and even get mixed up with them, if you can’t get into the Douluo Federation, tell the Spirit Pagoda’s people my name. I’m called Shi Xinyu. They will help you get back here. That’s all I can tell you.”

Lan Xuanyu was stunned but his heart sank. “Thank you, big sister.”

His gratitude was sincere. There were good people even on Heaven Planet !

But 15 days later? He couldn’t wait for that long ! They had to capture a warship within three days.

Lan Xuanyu wandered around the Spirit Pagoda as he assessed the current situation.
